Accounting and Finance for Non-profits 101

By: Small Business Finance Forum on 3:22 PM

Ramona Baptiste, who is in my United Way V.I.P. (Volunteer Involvement Program) training class, is putting on a training class for non-profits tomorrow. Ramona is a CPA who has worked with a lot of non-profits in the past. The United Way V.I.P. training prepares participants, over a 10-week period, for roles as directors on non-profit Board of Directors. All proceeds will be donated to United Way of Metro Atlanta, Inc.

I think it's an excellent opportunity for non-profits to come up to speed in the accounting and finance areas, which is often a weak area among non-profit founders and executive directors.

Here is the information:
